Re: Turkey’s Shootdown of Russian Jet “Had to Be PRE-PLANNED” #1
I don't think there's much doubt it was planned. But the reason for the kill seems to be a bit more understandable then the idea of protecting Turkish air space. Reports indicate it was to make a statement on behalf of the Turkmen that they don't have to escape to Turkey but instead that Turkey will stand up for them even to Russia. so they can stay in Syria. Whether that will pan out remains to be seen but that was the apparent real reason for the shoot own.
